Miro super user.
What do you like best about the product?
The upside of Miro is that it's a blank canvas to explore your ideas and communicate things.
Typically, communication of ideas - especially at work - was locked to a document or slides and is in a fairly rigid, rectangular format. Ideas and narratives aren't actually best illustrated that way.
The great thing about Miro is it gives you a canvas to illustrate things in the best way possible without the constraint of traditional docs or slides
Obviously, the collaboration stuff is great and really handy when you need it. But to me, that's the magic in Miro - it gives you a blank canvas. You can execute effortlessly and also impart your own styling preferences to create something that's really beautiful.

What do you dislike about the product?
I find the Frames feature within Miro quite irritating.
When they work well, they mean that you can take another person on a journey across your blank canvas really easily through the frames.
However, they just go wrong regularly. I find it really hard to edit frames after they're done, sometimes the content doesn't show properly in the frame, and it would be really really hard for me to articulate all of this, but the frames are just fraught with bugs and errors and they never work properly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a Director of Product.
A big part of my role is influencing. A big part of influencing is explaining your perspective and point of view in a way that is extremely compelling.
Miro gives me the tools to visualise my point of view and my perspective in totally bespoke and almost limitless ways.
To me, the magic of Miro isn't about any of the purposes highlighted above. It's about the freedom to articulate ideas and concepts on a blank canvas, with some finesse and style in the visualisation.
